Goldfinger may be late, but he will never be absent.

When she saw the novel-like dialog box in her field of vision, Charlotte knew that she was saved.

Myself...... To be able to intercept the sacrifice of this old witch?

Intercept!

Must be intercepted!

Charlotte, who was getting more and more tired, no longer had the extra energy to think more, she knew very well that she couldn't hold on for too long, and the breath of death was approaching.

Charlotte made her choice almost without hesitation.

[Error ......]

[Interception...... Failed ......】

[Detected...... Missing information from the canon......]

【Self-healing begins ......】

【Repair Completed......】

【Lord of the Great Sacred Scriptures】

[Please redraw your own symbol]

Charlotte:......

The text continues to change, and the ritual does not stop.

Charlotte felt as if she was connected to something.

An illusory piece of parchment appeared in her vision, and various patterns changed on it as she wished.

Whew!

Why is it so troublesome!

Charlotte, who was getting more and more unconscious, was about to go crazy.

She knew that if she didn't stop the sacrificial ritual, she would die.

Biting the tip of her tongue, she concentrated the last of her energy and casually reflected the thorn rose pattern on the top of the bed that greeted her every morning when she got up.

[Symbol Drafting]

【Interception Begins】

In a trance, Charlotte only felt that a mysterious power suddenly acted on her body.

In the sound of muffled prayers, her consciousness became clear again, but her vision changed magically.

Charlotte "looked" at her surroundings again.

However...... It's no longer from Charlotte's point of view, but a bird's-eye view like an observer.

She seemed to have arrived in a majestic illusory castle, sitting high on the Blood Throne, with a blood-colored ancient tome floating in front of her.

Under the throne, the basement is in full view.

The blood-colored circle, the cold cross, the girl who was hung up, the crazy old woman who prayed feverishly......

Everything seemed to be crawling at her feet.

The countess in the circle kept bowing, meeting Charlotte's gaze.

That feeling...... It's like worshipping Charlotte herself.

A strange feeling of condescending and looking down on the ants appeared in the girl's heart, making her feel that she was the master of everything......

A new dialog slowly emerges -

【Successfully intercepted the Bloodline Sacrifice Ritual】

[Ceremony recipient changed to: Charlotte de Castel]

[Is the procedure terminated or modified?] 】

The girl's eyes widened as she looked at the new text.

Thinking back to the old witch's hideous smile just now, the aggrieved anger churned in her heart again.

Charlotte did not hesitate and shouted in her consciousness:

"Modify! I want to revise! ”

"Swap the sacrifice with the sacrificer!"

"The sacrifice is her, and the sacrifice is me!"

Want blood sacrificed my soul?

His uncle's!

Let's see who sacrifices whom!

……

The Countess of Castel was thrilled.

It's been 10 years......

She has been preparing for this day for ten years!

As long as she completes this bloodline sacrifice ceremony, she will be able to successfully capture the gifted bloodline of the Castel family, and say goodbye to old age and regain her youth!

Not only that, but as long as she successfully sacrifices this otherworldly soul, she is more likely to receive the gift from the gods!

That's the legendary Divine Grace!

A divine grace that mortals dream of!

Once obtained, she will have incredible powers and become the legendary Apostle of the Gods!

Thinking of the bright future, the Countess of Castel became more and more excited.

"O great Grand Duke of the Blood Demon! Please cast your eyes! ”

She held aloft the blood-colored fragment and called out feverishly.

The magic circle shone brightly, and the moonlight like blood poured down, forming a crimson mist.

An ancient and vast aura slowly converged in the basement, as if some terrifying and terrifying mysterious existence had traveled through countless time and space, casting its gaze at this moment.

Here it comes!

The gaze of the gods is coming!

The Countess's breathing became heavy.

She looked up with difficulty, looking through the layers of fog, her gaze more frenetic than ever.

I saw that in the blood-colored mist, a simple and majestic illusory throne was gradually conjured.

Above the throne, the scarlet light gathered, as if an ancient and majestic existence was slowly descending......

My Lord!

It's my lord!

My lord's eyes are on me!

The Countess's eyes widened, she held her breath, her face flushed, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were full of anticipation.

The brilliance gathers and condenses into a human form.

And then—

She saw a familiar petite figure......

Countess:......

"Summer ...... Charlotte?! ”

She was stunned.

At the same time, Charlotte, who was sitting on the throne, smiled at her slightly, and her voice was ethereal and ethereal:

"My dear grandmother, your sacrifice...... I took it. ”

The sacrificial circle suddenly lit up, and crimson light rose to the sky.

In the countess's stunned gaze, a blood-like light instantly swallowed it......

"Ahhhhh——!h

The Countess of Castel let out a heart-rending wail of pain.

Her already old body quickly aged and withered under the glow of blood.

At the same time, Charlotte on the cross felt an abundant warm current pouring into the wound in her lower abdomen along the tentacles, like rain after a long drought.

A warm and strange power continued to swim through the body, and the fatal wound quickly began to heal.

It's an amazing feeling, it's hard to put into words.

If I really want to say it, it's like being in a warm and comfortable bath, and it's like the afterglow of some kind of intense workout.

Refreshing, intoxicating, addictive and endlessly aftertasted.

Charlotte seems to be a hungry glutton, greedily snatching and devouring everything from the Countess of Castel.

"Ahhh——!h

"Nope! No! Don't take away my power! Don't take away my power! ”

"You...... No, you, who are you?! Who the hell are you?! ”

The Countess of Castel screamed frantically and struggled incessantly.

However, the crimson light seemed to have life, imprisoning her to death.

When the sacrificial ceremony begins, it cannot be stopped.

"Stop! Please stop! ”

"Ahh

"Demons ......! You damn demon! ”

"My lord will not let you go! My lord will not let you go! ”

“……”

Gradually, the Countess of Castel's voice became quieter and weaker, and her movements of struggle became weaker and weaker.

Finally, after about five minutes of devouring, she lost her movement completely.

The terrifying aura that permeated the surroundings dissipated instantly, and with a series of "plopping" sounds, the living corpses of the maids and attendants kneeling around the circle fell to the ground one after another.

As if they had lost their supporting strength, they turned into ordinary carrions.

In the circle, the light slowly faded, revealing the Countess of Castel wrapped in it.

She had been reduced to a dehydrated, dried corpse, her shriveled face still relegated to horror and confusion.

The moonlight outside the skylight was obscured by the clouds again, and the magic circle on the ground was dimmed.

In the entire basement, only Charlotte was left alive.

The wound on her abdomen was completely gone, not a single scar remained, only the horrific bloodstains remained.

And her expression was still a little intoxicated.

That wonderful devouring seems to be addictive, and the girl at this moment actually feels a strong sense of loss and unfinished.

She felt as if she had taken some powerful tonic, her mind became faster and clearer than ever, and her body seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy, as if she could break free from the cross at any moment.

Want......

I still want to!

A hunger and thirst that is difficult to describe in words came to my heart, with a strong addiction.

Charlotte swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist, forcibly suppressing the throbbing that seemed to turn into a body's instinct.

She didn't like the feeling of being addicted to drugs.

Fortunately, the hunger and thirst only lasted for a moment before disappearing.

She closed her eyes and let out a long breath:

"Finally...... It's over. ”

At this moment, the locked iron door of the basement was suddenly smashed open with a roar.

In the stirring dust, four or five knights in black robes, armed with crosses and silver swords, rushed in.

The first one held up the parchment, and his voice was cold and serious:

"Countess Castel, we are the Knights of the Demon Hunt."

"According to the real-name report, we have reason to suspect that you have been contaminated as a blood-descended demon, and it is related to the blood-demon case in Boulder City during this time, and you are trying to sacrifice your granddaughter Charlotte de Castel with blood, you ......"

Before he finished his words, he was directly stopped by the tragic scene in front of him.

A huge blood-colored circle.

Hundreds of corpses that have been decomposing for an unknown amount of time.

Fallen in the magic circle, the corpse of a woman who could vaguely identify the identity of the noblewoman.

and the beautiful girl on the blood-stained cross, covered in bruises, ragged, and pitiful......

Seeing the stranger who broke into the door, Xia Luo was also slightly stunned.

However, she was quick to react.

The misty mist instantly surged into her watery eyes, and the girl sobbed in a low voice, her voice was weak, extremely delicate and pitiful:

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Pain...... It hurts......"

"Uncle Knight...... I'm so sore and scared ......."

"Woo woo woo ......"
